Guys, today I had an interview with the largest agency in Tampa Florida, they reviewed my portfolio and considered me to be a good candidate, The funny part is that the person who "interviewed" me who is supposed to be with the agency for 6 years , gets surprised and says wow when she asks if I know powerpoint and I say yes. " I felt insulted by the fact that someone like that works for a company that size, well It came as a surprise when she told me its only her and another designer working, OMG I just wanted to leave and then she tells me the company doesnt pay well and she pays too much for health benefits herself..., I mentioned the rebranding of Publix and she told me they didnt work on this client, and last but not least they say they try to stay away from developing identities because they find it hard to do and come out with a good symbol that represents a product. By the way they are running on 1998 Imacs with 17" screens not that it makesa big difference but c'mon, a 450 million dollar agency? these people are full of it. Just wanted to share my experience. Any comments?

how is this the largest agency, yet they accomplish what seems to be not so much??
why do you place them so high on a pedastal?
how did your feelings b4 that interview give you such a strong standing on this company over leaving the interview feeling they prettty much suck?

they can't be that big ... i've never heard of them.
perhaps they are only big in the powerpoint world!

I have no clue how this company could be the largest!! I thought they had the clients they said they have but i didnt see anyhting they show on their site, plus I came to the conclusion that where they get the most money out of is TV and Radio, they even admitt it business management is also a big dept there.So all I can say is that the creative department?? hmmm consider it a photo lab at a big superstore. I've never felt so good about myself because every day I strive to be a better designer and what seemed and seems to be gold to everyone in this city is really the last place you want to work at. I am really glad I have a job where they have a vision of a true agency.

Hell no! I didnt get the Job, after I saw how it really is I just left with a smile and thought it was ridiculous! She hasnt hired anyone for the past year and a half she says, maybe thats why shes been there for 6 years..

AG dont sweat that other company - your work seems like it matches that of higher quality places that dont use powerpoint daily..haha...although, I wish taco cabana was my client (ok im just hungry). Who told you they were number 1? was it a starwipe on an official powerpoint? im stumped

Dude when I came to Tampa from Miami everyone mentioned this company as number one! I thought it was a big deal but today I realised that you dont always have to look for big places but for big opportunities instead. I wont do anything about it now, but I am pretty sure someone else who goes through this will send a letter to corporate complaining of the garbage they have "interviewing".

HOLY SHIT-TASTIC!!!
their popup window flash site generates another popup window!
I don't know if I've even seen such blasphemy!!!
WAIT! I was wrong, there's more, all content is coded into tables!
and...
for some reason the site popup window cuts off the white rounded border that encompasses the swf, drag open the 1st popup to see what I mean
WAIT!, on second though don't even click the link, in fact I'm going back up to delete it
Whew, that was close!

all i meant was if they are as desperate for employees as you say they are i could probably work for them without leaving the basement of my home in oh so rural ks, but i won't even apply so it won't be an issue, the :// denotes sarcasm
